Abstract
A problem of coordinating engineers working in different fields during design and control of an industrial installation is especially difficult during start up and modification of the process. Any work carried out in such a case must be coordinated in real time. Moreover, level of access to information is differentiated for different branches of engineers. In this work a hybrid agent-based system for cooperative plant design and set up of the biotechnological pilot plant is proposed. The major contribution deals with decomposition of biotechnological plant information by hybrid agent system for enhancing cooperation of experts having different knowledge about the process. Hybridization of the process is performed considering nine states, while estimation of the information distance is performed based on partial Kullback-Liebler cross-entropy function. Experience gained during design and exploitation of the mentioned biotechnological pilot-plant suggests this solution to be promising.
